About this item
by Thomas Brant (Author)
Welcome to AmericanoAir, where the seatbelts are optional, the paperwork's improvised, and the only thing thinner than the profit margins is the line between farce and disaster.
Captain James Hart is no stranger to chaos at 35,000 feet, but nothing in his military or civilian flying career prepared him for the bizarre circus of AmericanoAir, a "100% American" airline cobbled together from Lithuanian shells, British shareholders, and the smoke-and-mirrors ambition of Sprint Group. Across a summer of operational meltdowns, political upheaval, and transatlantic PR stunts, Hart and his multinational crews must navigate farce and far-right America, creative legal workarounds, and the fragile egos of both CEOs and regulators.
From the cringeworthy inaugural launch in Las Vegas to drunken first officers, sexual shenanigans in the cockpit, ICE raids, MAGA meltdowns, catastrophic PR blunders, and bankruptcies exploited in real time, Hart's journey exposes the battered soul of an industry addicted to denial and debt. Each chapter crackles with gallows humour, sharp-eyed detail, and the weary camaraderie of crews holding the line as authority, professionalism, and sanity are eroded by global crisis and corporate spin.
